Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in San Francisco, CA

I have clinical experience working with all genders struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, anger management, emotional regulation, relationship issues, OCD, ADHD, and co-dependency.
Have you ever heard the saying "the mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master?" I can help you learn to not follow your every thought as if it is a command, and to be more connected to the present moment. Integrity, humility, benevolence, and community are the core values of my practice. As your therapist, I will help you identify your core values and what is most important to you. Once we know what is most important, we can nourish those areas while changing how you relate to unhelpful internal patterns. I believe therapy is about repairing relationships, whether to food, to your body, to others or with yourself.

Our early and middle childhood team specializes in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children (DBT-C) to treat anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, disruptive behaviors, selective mutism, trauma and depression.
We are passionate about addressing the disturbing fact that mental illness continues to increase despite greater evidence-based treatment availability than ever before. We believe this is due to the unethical managed-care practices, rigid clinical delivery models, and interventions developed on a fundamental misunderstanding about emotions and emotional disorders. Our services teach individuals and families how to listen to primary emotions that signal information about our core needs and how to act opposite to secondary emotions that cause distress and suffering. We provide state-of-the-art evidence-based treatments (EBT), working as a multidisciplinary team to provide collaborative, individualized, and comprehensive treatment targeting your child's individual symptoms, their academic and social experiences, transactions within the family system, and whole-family support through individual therapy, group therapy, caregiver coaching, family therapy & couples therapy. Services can flex from weekly outpatient care to intensive outpatient programming, delivering 1-15 hours of individualized care. Progress is measured through weekly measurement-based care and monthly team meetings.

I work with individuals/groups struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, depression, trauma & life transitions.
You're feeling stuck—overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and emotions that seem to run your life. Whether it's struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, low motivation and energy, or feeling trapped in the same unworkable patterns, you're looking for a way to break through. You want more than just coping strategies—you want real change, the ability to take action, and the clarity to move forward with purpose. Most of all, you want to feel in control of your mind and emotions, rather than being at their mercy. Group support can provide the connection and momentum you need to make lasting changes.
